Chet Hines “dulcimore”


Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions

Is the music on the "Chet Hines – Fiddlin' With A Dulcimore" record, duets with a fiddle and dulcimore or a dulcimore played with a fiddle bow or something else?

@steve-c , It's nice to know there's one still around. I contacted a dulcimer luthier who knew Chet personally. He has one, too. So, hopefully he will digitize it and make the tracks available. If not, let me know if you ever dig it out of storage. Thanks.

@john-petry - The link you provided is a performance Chet did at the second Battle Ground Fiddlers' Gathering in 1974 in Battleground, Indiana. But thanks.

Dan,

On YouTube what did you search for to find one track from "Chet Hines - Fiddlin' With a Dulcimore"? Or can you click "Share" on the YouTube post and paste it in a reply?

Thanks, Tom

I saw an Ebay vinyl LP entitled, "Chet Hines - Fiddlin' With a Dulcimore". It had already sold. If anyone has one, I'd sure like a digital copy of it. I hook my turntable to a Zoom microphone and capture the LP to WAV files. I'd probably drive a long way to get a copy. I have an original copy of his book.
